The true story of fast-draws and wild rides, battles with posses, train and bank robberies, a torrid love affair and a new lease on outlaw life in far away Bolivia. It is also a character study of a remarkable friendship between Butch - possibly the most likeable outlaw in frontier history - and his closest associate, the fabled, ever-dangerous Sundance Kid.

Critics Consensus

With its iconic pairing of Paul Newman and Robert Redford, jaunty screenplay and Burt Bacharach score, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid has gone down as among the defining moments in late-'60s American cinema.

After a few minutes of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, I began to get that depressed feeling, and, after a half hour, felt rather offended.

It's lighthearted and likeable, a cool, 1960s spin on a genre that at the time had become a little tired.

5/5

Credit must go to the Oscar-winning trio of William Goldman, Conrad Hall and Burt Bacharach for the witty script, luminous photography and jaunty score respectively, but all of the charm of this ever-popular picture lies with the charismatic outlaws.

Good, but not great. Entertaining and Paul Newman and Robert Redford's banter is amusing and likable. Worth the watch .....

Arguably the last of the classic western movies and one of the earliest modern buddy movies. The movie is focused more on the friendship between the charming lead trio with Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katherine Ross, as the most likable and wholesome outlaws ever. How their kind of outlaw is a dying breed in the emerging age of modern America. The famous bicycle scene where "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" song plays is classic yet divisive. While the song is laughably unfitting for a western, it oddly works for this movie's laidback affable tone since the focus is on the strong friendship and charming romance between the main characters. It's silly, but cute. The train robbing scenes are a lot of fun. I love the funny banter and chemistry between Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It's hilarious when the duo struggle to learn Spanish. The Bolivian army shootout ending is epic and bittersweet. A very charming and unique Western.

Never grows old - the banter and playoff between Redford and Newman is gold. Just an ageless gem.

One of the greatest movies of all time acted out by the best actors in the industry at the peak of their fame. Classic western you can watch over and over.

Seen this film so many times over the years and always good. Lots of fun. Perfect cast, pacing and some surprising music but an all time classic.
